So the day went well for both Manik and Nandini. At evening everyone were back to home. Manik, cabir and fab 3 were happy to see Nandu all chirpy, as when they entered the mansion. Nandu hugged everyone and settled herself beside Manik, then she happily told them how was her day in college. Soon after dinner everyone went to their respective rooms to sleep, while fab3 moved to their house.

Everything was same in fab3's, Manan's and cabir's life. Chachi, Soha, and neyonika backed of from there evil plans as Manik made sure to push them into trouble before they plan or think anything to separate or harm manan. So being care free Nandu was actually enjoying her life. Manik loves Nandu this is evident to everyone but does Nandu love Manik is a question that everyone has but they never thought to bring this topic in light.

While for both manan their day starts and ends with each other. It's like if Manik doesn't know about Nandu's whereabouts for even a minute then he goes restless. And only Nandu can handle him. Manan grown stronger and Nandu started trusting Manik blindly but she use to take her stand whenever it's needed. As Manik made sure to be behind her to support her unconditionally. So it helped Nandu to take her stand.

Nandu has 4 friends in college I.e aryaman, Navya ( as Manik has given her admission just to make Nandu happy), shivani and meeraj. Though Nandu only trusts Navya, shivani and meeraj, she maintained a decent friendship with aryaman. While cabir and Navya have feelings for each other but none expressed that to anyone. Shivani and meeraj were in serious relationship. And aryaman has a crush on Nandu which he thinks as love.

Manik knew about aryaman's intensions but protected Nandu being her secret Santa. As he wants Nandu to see the reality of aryaman instead of him telling it to her, but still as being a possessive hubby he silently appointed 4 bodyguards for her. And he put a gps tracker in nandu's mangalsutra and engagement ring. As Nandu never removes them no matter what.

The routine was same. It was nandu's final year in college. She was in canteen with her friends, talking something nonsense. Soon she observed meeraj's move's. And stopped speaking as meeraj was on his knees for shivani to propose her. Even Shivani accepted the proposal and Nandu was the happiest soul among them. Navya chuckled seeing her jumping around. Nandu was talking to them while going to class room and she was walking backwards ( like she was facing them and walking backwards) when she hit a hard rock body and was about to loose her balance, but how can our Manik let her fall, he held her. Nandu turned to him facing her back to her friends and hugged him tightly mumbling an I miss you. Listening to this Manik had a wide smile and tightened his hold on her whispering an I miss you too. Soon they broke the hug and saw that Navya, shivani and meeraj were looking them in awww. Where as aryaman has straight face.

Man: hi guys ..

Meeraj, Navya, shivani: hi sir.

Navya: jiju you tho met her morning only na then why miss you.

While shivani and meeraj gave her a are you serious look.

Man: no actually I was out of town for 3 days and 2 nights. So I returned just now and here I am to check my baby.

Manik said looking at Nandu who side hugged him hiding her face. While manik just held her close to him.

Shivani: so what are the plans jiju.

Man: I was about to ask you Guy's. Do you have any important class now?

They 3 nodded no and still aryaman was standing there but didn't speak a word or reacted.

Man: okay then I am taking my baby with me. And if anything is important then explain her that tomorrow.

They nodded and manik lifted her in his arms effortlessly. While Nandu just moved to his crook of his neck and hides her face over there. Navya, shivani and meeraj smiled at them. But aryaman was jealous. Everyone in the corridor saw them but didn't uttered a word. Manik sat on the driving seat with Nandu in his lap, who just snuggled to him more to absorb his presence in her. Manik said the body guards to follow him and asked the driver to come the next day. While driving manik asked

Man: how is my baby.

Nan ( whispering ): not good.

Man ( smiled at her antics): hawww. Why so??

Nan: you left your baby and went for 2 long nights. You know right I can't get my peaceful sleep without you. Then how can you think I am good.

By saying this she had a pout which obviously Manik wanted to kiss but smiled at his kid and patted her head to make her sleep. She slept instantly absorbing his warmth.

Soon they reached manik's farmhouse which is in Mumbai Pune highway. Manik lifted an sleeping Nandu and moved to their bedroom to get some rest. After almost 4 hours nandu stirred in sleep and snuggled more into Manik. It caused Manik to broke his sleep and saw his baby. He truly doesn't lust her but at the same time he wants to love her and her body too. It's his manly desires which he can control to some extent. He started admiring her. And after 30 mins more Nandu opened her eyes and spoke.

Nandu: I missed this and you.

Manik smile grew to the widest and pecked her forehead and said

Manik: I missed you too baby.

Nandu snuggled for more 15 mins and said

Nan: I guess I am hungry.

Man: okay freshen up. I will order something for us.

Soon they freshened up and went to small terrace garden which is attached to there bedroom and were having snacks. By speaking to each other. Mostly Nandu blabbering.

Nan: you know Manik?

This caused manik's attention...

Man: yes tell me.. how will I know without you telling me....

Nandu pouted cutely but spoke..

Nan: Today meeraj proposed shivani. You they were Soo cute. They almost took 2 years to confess it. As they were scared that the other person rejects. But you know I saw love in between them. Like they used to fight a lot even after accepting that they love each other. But you know after every fight they used to solve it together. Sometimes the mistake is done by meeraj. And you know most of the time it's Shivani's mistake. But still meeraj has his own ways to explain her or deal with her.

You know mani..

( And this nickname caused his more attention than anything as he was admiring her cute talks. )

They look Soo cute together even when fighting. Once Shivani was showing attitude wantedly and meeraj got angry and was about to leave to his home leaving shivani alone in parking lot of college. We were so tensed but once he saw her standing in the same place pouting which made him smile and he waited in front of her for 5 mins. And after that she climbed and just hugged him making us smile at her crazy antics.

You know mani even I wanted someone to propose me. Like before our marriage. Don't take me wrong as I always dreamed about it.

Nandu said dreamily... by which Manik frowned and asked her curiously.

Man: what was your dream proposal??

Nan ( still in her dream land ): That I want it to be simple like how meeraj proposed shivani in front of whole college in canteen. It's simple but cute as meeraj didn't get afraid or even had second thoughts while proposing her in front of anyone. This shows how much he loves her and he can proudly show to world that's his girl.

I want something similar to that but the place should be decorated with red and white roses, near beach. You know it has to be like a rose bed with my man standing in middle just for me and the rest world looking at us. And we stating that we belong to only each other no one else in this life.

You know mani I had crazy wish list before you came in my life. But after you came everything changed for good. I am not complaining but I wish to clear that wish list. But I guess it's not possible now.

Nandu was still lost in her own land. While here manik mentally noted everything she said and determined that he has to propose her in the same way and also he has to make sure to full fill all her wishes. Both were lost in their own land when manik's phone caught their attention bringing back from their land. As it was a call from cabir.

Man: Ha cabir Bol..

Ca: where are you guys? I was trying to reach Nandu.

Man: we..... ( looking at Nandu ) we are in farm house to spend some alone time. Why what happened??

Ca: wooh can you please be clam. As I don't want Nandu to know about this.

Man: okay.

Ca: wooh... I was just going to pick up Nandu as I thought you would be in home being tried. But I reached their I saw aryaman alone. I found it weird as he was talking to himself strangely and was saying that Nandini is mine. I thought to follow him, his mansion is just near our mansion and also he is keeping an eye on you guys.

Man: how can you be so sure about it?

Ca: I have seen large binoculars set up in one of his balcony and that balcony is exactly opposite to your balcony. At 1st I felt it strange and thought he was gazing stars. But after 10 mins aryaman himself came to balcony and started peeping in our mansion through that. And he specifically kept one binoculars pointing to your room and the other one to see the whole mansion.

Manik was angry at the same time scared for Nandini. But he didn't showed anything on his face and calmly said..

Man: okay cabir. Do one thing you keep an eye on him and let it be how it's going on for now. We will discuss the rest when I will be in home tomorrow night or maybe be day after tomorrow night. And make sure to tighten the security and only keep the trusted ones and give termination for the rest. I only want trusted ones. And also make sure that the security is super tight. Rest things I will discuss in our study room. Okay...

Ca: Yaa okay bro. I will also inform this to fab 3. You guys take care. I am sure that he don't know your farm house details so that's why he is sitting in balcony and waiting for you guys to come.

Manik sighed and ended the call. Where Nandu raised her eyes asking what.

Man: nothing. A small problem in office.

Nandu nodded and moved to his lap and snuggled like a baby. While Manik smiled and held her securely.

Soon 2 days passed with Manan cuddles and their talks. They reached to mansion at night. And Manik made Nandu sleep as she has college tomorrow and also she was tried. Closing all the windows and drawing the curtains he switched on the ac and covered her with comforter. Then checking her one last time he moved to study room, where fab 4 were waiting for him.
